Human traficking is one of the major problem the world is facing today, caused by the uneven distribution of wealth, weak sense of reasoning and decadence of humanity in the world today. Human traficking is the recruitment, habouring, transportation of persons by criminal master minds through threat or force, promise of better future,fraud, deception, abuse of power or through the consent of victims being trafficked for the purpose of profit.
Human traficking is different from human smuggling, human smuggling involves a person voluntarily requesting or hiring another individual to covertly transport them across an international border, usually because the smuggled person would be denied entry into a country by legal channels. Though illegal, there may be no deception or coercion involved. After entry into the country and arrival at their ultimate destination, the smuggled person is usually free to find their own way. This is a clear violation of immigration laws of the destination country and not neccesarily the violation of the person human rights(there are cases whereby the smugglers turned human traffickers, like in most of the libya slave trade cases) while in human trafficking, trafficked people are held against their will through acts of coersion, and forced to work for or provide services to the trafficker or others. The work or services may include anything from bonded or forced labour, Human trafficking is the trade of
humans for the purpose of forced labour , sexual slavery , or commercial sexual exploitation for the trafficker or others. This may involve providing a spouse in the context of forced marriage, or the extraction of organs or tissues, surrogacy and ova removal. This menace can occur within a country or trans-nationally. Human trafficking is a crime against the person because of the violation of the victim's rights of movement through coersion and because of their commercial
exploitation. Human trafficking is the trade in people, especially women and children, and does not necessarily involve the movement of the person from one place to another. The arrangement may be as a work contract, but with little or or close to nothing income or on aggrement thar are highly exploitative. Sometimes the arrangement is structured as debt bondage, with the victim not being permitted or able to pay off the debt.
Bonded labor, or debt bondage, is arguably the least known form of labour trafficking today, and one of the most widely used mode of enslaving people. Victims become "bonded" when their labor, the labor which they themselves hired and the tangible goods they have bought are demanded as a means of repayment for a loan or service whose terms and conditions have not been defined, or where the value of the victims' services is not applied toward the liquidation of the debt. Generally, the value of their work is greater than the original sum of money "borrowed".
CONCLUSION
Human traficking is menace in our society that must be tackled effectively by educating the would-be victims the danger involve, informing the security agencies around us of any attempt to trafick persons. Pressure should be mounted on people in power to creat an enabling enviroment for people to flourish. Lets respect fellow humans by discouraging any act(s) that support human traficking.
